Gentlemen--I have had catarrh for
over three years. For three years
l had pains over my eyes. l often
could not sleep, not being able to
breathe through my nose. I was not
able to smell anything for three years.
In this sad plight, last spring, l began
taking s. s. s. / took one dozen bot.
ties. The pains left my forehead, my
smelling finally returned, and / could
sleep soundly. This is the happy re-
suit of your medicine. I have felt no
symptoms Of the return Of the disease
until the very wet and cold season set
in, and even then, was so much bet.
ter than had been for three years,
that felt like different man. l ain
going to take few bottles this spring,
so as to completely eradicate every
remnant of the disease. My general
health is greatly improved since be.
gan taking your medicine, and my dis.
ordered kidneys restored to their nor
NAL functions. My digestion is now
first-class, and / can eat anything
wish, whereas before I took S. s. S.
such was not the case.
